Andy and Aaron discuss Forest Frenzy, the 15th level in Donkey Kong Country for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System! How do Donkey and Diddy fit into the ecosystem of DK Island? Is the country really Donkey Kong's if he's objectively the worse of the two playable characters? Do the creators of the game ever name something that isn't a pun or alliteration? Did you know that there was a stop-motion movie about Bigfoot with Zach Galifianakis and Hugh Jackman? Probably not, based on the box office. All these questions and more are explored in this banan-tastic episode of One Stage at a Time! New episodes weekly!

The gang invades a quaint tree-top village. Blast barrels, buzzy boys, and bottomless pits give us a hard time. We groove to another swell track by Eveline Novakovic (Fischer).

Chimp Caverns is behind us, Vine Valley lies ahead. We're getting a rude welcome to the forest in Vulture Culture. But how can forest and jungle exist on one island? We need David Attenborough to sort out this biome-blunder. Then in History, we look back at DKC's 25th anniversary and the wealth of production materials Gregg Mayles shared on Twitter. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-stage-at-a-time/message

We get anthropological in an mysterious ancient temple. Aaron brandishes a weapon in the studio. Krusha laughs at Diddy Kong's puny physique. We compare the cast of DKC to Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. And the stinkin' lizards get what they deserve. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/one-stage-at-a-time/message

It's cave time again, folks. In the third stage of World 3, we're bouncing on tires, and bouncing on Winky. That's double bouncing.
